First Watch to Open in Bridgeville

Pittsburgh, PA (RestaurantNews.com) First Watch Restaurants, the popular breakfast, brunch and lunch concept, today announced it will open the doors to its newest Pittsburgh-area restaurant on Monday, July 25. The new restaurant will open at 7 a.m. at 160 Millers Run Road, just off of I- 79 in Bridgeville. The new 3,500-square-foot restaurant will be the 33-year-old company’s fourth First Watch in the Pittsburgh area and will employ about 25 people.

“In the past year, we’ve really focused on both Pittsburgh and Philadelphia as growth hubs for First Watch, with openings in McCandless as well as in Wynnewood and Villanova just outside of Philadelphia,” said Chris Tomasso, president of First Watch, of the company’s recent Pennsylvania expansion. “Bridgeville is a ripe with beautiful neighborhoods full of growing families and young professionals, and it only seemed natural to introduce our fresh take on breakfast, brunch and lunch with the community here.”

The new First Watch in Bridgeville will also offer options from the restaurant’s Fresh Juice Bar, juiced in-house daily using fresh fruits and vegetables sourced locally whenever possible. The restaurant will serve its exclusive Sunrise Select Premium Blend Coffee, made from slow-roasted, hand-selected, high-grown coffee beans from mountains across North, Central and South America, by the pot.

The new First Watch will open with the restaurant’s latest interior design, which combines farm fresh elements with a high-energy, urban vibe.
